Fives Federation

‘Fives’ is the old English word for wallball. Domestic UK versions of 4-wall and 3-wall wallball are still called Rugby and Eton Fives respectively. Wallball standardises many of these traditional games from around the world. Unfortunately minority sports are also struggling in today’s modern era of technology and opportunity and Wallball also has an important role in keeping these sports relevant and stopping them from fading into obscurity. We work with the two Fives organisations on projects and behind the scenes to keep these great old British sports alive and vibrant.
